NUTRITION IS IMPORTANT EVEN IN URBANA



Recently Time magazine featured an article acknowledging the woeful grocery selections for individuals and families residing within urban areas. Historically, many city dwellers have had to travel outside of their immediate community to search for healthier food options. Lately with the insurgence of returning "White Flighters", grocery chains have taken a more serious look at injecting metropolis areas with their products.

This initiative had long since been put on the political back burner due to supermarket resistence to enter urban areas. However now it seems that grocers are willing to revisit their original stances for the sake of providing for a NEW MARKET!

  1. YES ONCE AGAIN IN AMERICAN SOCIETY, THE BETTERMENT OF MANKIND AND CITIZEN IS OVERLOOKED AND OVERCOME BY THE POWER OF THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR. THE GIANTS, SAFEWAYS, ETC SHOULD BE OR SHOULD HAVE BEEN WILLING TO CARRY THE BEST PRODUCTS FOR HEALTH REASONS NOT THE CHEAPEST PRODUCTS FOR MONETARY REASON. THE UNDERPRIVILEGED PEOPLE ARE HUMAN ASWELL AS THE RICH. WHY SHOULD THE POOR EAT SUBPAR FOOD...? ITS A BASIC NECESSITY TO BE HEALTHY FOR THE PROSPERITY OF OUR SOCIETY....OH YES I FORGOT ITS NO PROFIT FOR THE BIG BUSINESS...
